Thanks for sharing the link to this clip. A rare one. I wonder if more of that year's festival exists on film? Even footage from other years. That site with the lovely colour photo of Cream makes it look like yesterday and makes you want to see more footage. Can anyone confirm if the 1965 festival was indeed shot in colour? This has been rumoured for years but I have not so far seen any proof of it beyond the shorter black and white film used in Shindig. Or am I getting Windsor and Richmond festivals mixed up now? It would be great to think it was filmed though as it would be such a great piece of sixties pop history.

Regarding the existance of footage of 'Pretty Flamingo'. The Manfreds appeared on at least 7 occasions promoting the track.
21st April - Top of the Pops 22nd April - Ready Steady Go 28th April - Top of the Pops 7th May - Thank Your Lucky Stars 12th May - Top of the Pops 19th May - Top of the Pops 17th June - Ready Steady Go 26th December - Top of the Pops (possible repeat?)
Since there are a few TYLS editions that survive is this one still around?

I don't think so, no. The existing editions are both from June. Sod's law that all the appearances of that song appear to be on two shows (TOTP / TYLS) that have an abysmal archive presence! Also, the Xmas TOTP show was a new appearance; Paul Jones made a one-off return to the group to perform the song.
So did the Manfreds appear overseas to promote Pretty Flamingo? That seems a likelier place to find something existing.
